MHL, the standard by which many Android devices pump out audio and video to external screens over the USB port, has announced a new spec that will support video at a resolution of 7680 x 4320 and 120 frames per second. SuperMHL also pumps out 40W of power, can plug multiple displays into a single device, and plays nice with a new reversible connector.

MHL, the standard for sending high-definition video from portable devices, has today announced its version 3.0 specification.

They also gave us a reason as to why the change was...

If you're planning on purchasing a shiny new Samsung Galaxy S III, and have an existing Android phone that uses a MHL to HDMI adapter for video out, you'll be needing to replace that adapter. According to Samsung the hardware differences -- the Galaxy S III uses a different pin layout than previous phones did -- make the old adapters incompatible with the phone.
While it's a bit inconvenient,...

This one is a far cry in appearance from Motorola's efforts with the Lapdock. The newly announced Clamcase Clambook quite simply wants to bring a laptop experience to your Android smartphone. Bearing more than a passing resemblance to the Macbook Air and containing a 16:9 widescreen display, by connecting to your phone via an MHL adaptor it brings full native keyboard and trackpad capabilities...

If you happened to check out our hands-on with the Sprint HTC Evo 3D you would have heard mention of the microUSB to HDMI output that allows for photo, video and audio output. If you're lucky enough to have an MHL enabled TV it should also charge while displaying whatever it is you want it to. Oddly enough, that information was left off of the official announcement but is really one of the finer...
